Default Speed warning Upgrade

What are the challenges with adding an NOS speed warning speedometer to a vette that originally didn't have one?

I am assuming there may be some wiring and other issues like the warning buzzer.

Thanks in advance!

Well, that's it

You will need: Speedo with speed warning and the adjustment cable (goes to the same place where the odometer reset is)
Buzzer (see pic, left above the hood release)
Wiring (goes to the fuse box and to the speedo)

If you need the components you can try David Sokolowski at
310-329-5334.
I bought some parts for my 69 from him last year and while there he showed me several complete sets.

Sure

Left one is speed warning set ****, right one odometer reset. The pink wires on the fuse box in the background are the wires (hot) going to the buzzer.
If you need more pics just let me know, the pics in this threads are from the restoration process I can also take recent pictures.
